FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENT WITH SPECIFIED LIPID PROFILE

摘要

The invention relates to food industry, namely to food ingredients designed for enrichment of food products with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), production of functional and specialised food products and biologically active supplements to food. The functional food ingredient with specified lipid profile contains cod liver oil and natural antioxidant, at the same time cod liver oil is used with total content of polyunsaturated fatty acids of at least 25%, at the same time the sum of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenic acids is at least 5%, the ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 accordingly is 3-5:1, cod liver oil is produced from raw fat of sharptooth catfish Clarias Gariepinus, grown under aquaculture conditions, peroxide number in ingredient output does not exceed 1.6 mmol 1/2 O/kg. Natural antioxidant is a mixture of natural vitamins E in combination with vegetable oil taken as 2.3 -2.5:1, in the quantity of 0.02-0.05% to cod liver oil weight. Functional food ingredient is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, provides for optimum ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 in daily diet, has high resistance to oxidation, neutral organoleptic characteristics.
